The Journey to the Surface

.trebigto iglahrno okh rekaligo kogloet regidtahv

With the temporary blessing of the Council we began the excavation.

.bahtsahnah met tahgen ah rerooay noref bretahleeo

This map gives the final route to the surface.

.loymaht terelin ril kodobahrelen rebishtah kodolahsahen trefilahdh teflin teeget

Though contact wasn't made the tunnel was sealed at the top in working order.

Winged Creature [1]

.met boogin prin gah tromets kokenen fah terthtes mot kokenen kohooren terthbroon ahnotahm

This small winged creature was one of a group that was found in a lava tube.

.rehevo kroen gahreesen gahederen terthtes don erthchir fah

The swarm moves, eats, and sleeps as a group, as if it were a single organism.

Lizard [3]

.kohooret ah met m'lah dotsahven t'fah tregahlpotee vogets tretahleeo

We found this lizard living in one of the natural caves near the surface.

.rem'lah sekhen poahnt bonooets b'rigahsen mot tornen frepradtee doreesloen remahrg melin mreprad

The lizard has highly acidic saliva, which it spits at the rocks, dissolving the rock's outer layer.

.gormot glahsen ah repoahnt tre'irvantee tregilotee gah trechirtee prin mot lereesloeet

It then drinks the saliva along with the minerals, plants, and small organisms that have been dissolved.

Timepiece

.rebishtah kodosayen kahgesh b'mes erth lenahokh yahrtee sen bretahleeo

The tunnel was originally designed to require a journey of three days to the surface.

.loymaht remishtahtahv robot tso rebishtah ril mahrenten resaytee kahg relenah gahth shentoen blo yahrtee sen f'toogo

Though the actual construction of the tunnel doesn't follow the original designs, the journey still takes about three days on foot.

Phosphorescent Plants [2]

This is an example of one of the phosphorescent plants we discovered.

.tooleet chilesh zith fregahlon roob repoytee tsoidahl tooleet megoyray mreprad

They mainly grow low along the ground, but the glowing bulbs grow straight out from the rock.

Shaft

.retiwah kokenen kosayen t' Telooknahvah Gahrten

The shaft was designed by Surveyors Guild Master Garten.

.komesen redoyhahtee pradteegahl tor gahro b'fahsee t'biv tregahn D'nee gahvaileetee tren b'choylahnay

It required the four greatest rock-working machines in all of the D'ni Empire and a few months to complete.

Fault Line [5]

Telooknahvah Gahrten kolonen ah metidhsay chay meprad ahnotahm ahbtseeets

Surveyors Guild Master Garten discovered this fault line of magma-based basaltic rock.

.kotokituhen khregitsahth gah khresoygith okh metbishtah roo kahzeeet n'rechay

It was determined for the safety and stability of this tunnel that we would detour around the fault.
